Drafttek.com uses a computer model to simulate a 7-round 2013 NFL Mock Draft. Each team has an analyst who supplies data on 2013 NFL Draft team needs. The team needs are matched up against a list of 2013 NFL Draft prospect rankings (aka "Big Board") in order to generate each selection in our 2013 NFL Mock Draft.

The 3rd round is awful high for Washington, I think. He's a freak athletically, but it doesn't translate onto the field.

If Kyle Long gets to 54 that's a steal. Whether he's at guard or tackle.

I don't know if I see Austin being the guy anymore. I think if it's a skill position player offensively it's Eifert. He has the least amount going against him. Otherwise I think it's a pass rusher.

I don't see Eifert at #12. He may be a bigger reach than Austin at that point.

It might make more sense because he'd be a red zone threat and the tight end is a revitalized position, but I don't see him going that high.

I agree, if we really want Eifert bad, we should try to trade back and add more picks. Or use some other picks to move back up into the 1st round and go after him in the late 1st. I think he's going to go somewhere in the mid 20s.

No running back......We just might get a shot at the 2nd back coming of the board

If Eddie Lacy is there when we pick in the 2nd round it would be hard not to take a serious look at the kid. He'd complement Miller very well. Heck, I wouldn't mind if we packaged our 2nd and Thomas to move up a few spots to get him.

I like how folks want to push Tavon Austin out of the picture. This mock is similar to mine as we have Austin and Kelce in the group of picks through the 5th round.

I agree about Washington possibly being a little high, as his production at Georgia does not match the freakish numbers he put up at the combine. He is one to keep an eye on though. I choose Corey Lemioner over him because of more production in college.

I would be happy with Kyle Long or Terron Armstead in the 2nd round. Both are versatile enough to play ORT.

I know we have some folks on the board that love Tyler Eifert, but I agree with Rich. The Dolphins could trade down and get Eifert. Austin is not a reach in the top 12, and I have seen him mocked more than a few times to the New York Jets at #9.

NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah is "not a big fan" of Auburn pass rusher Corey Lemonier."Flashes shake/bull pass rush move and plays hard but I'm not a big fan," Jeremiah tweeted. Lemonier is "stuck on blocks in every tape." When asked to compare the Auburn product to Bruce Irvin, Jeremiah added "Irvin had rare get-off and don't see that same burst from Lemonier." He views the pass rusher as a third-round talent

Quote:

BOTTOM LINE Lemonier is a long and projectable athlete, who already has a nice outside rip move. Was tremendously productive as a junior, but saw his play decline as a senior. While his body type is a better fit for 3-4 outside linebacker than 4-3 defensive end, his hips appear to be too stiff to make the transition. Lemonier also lacks powerful hands, and sometime struggles to turn the corner. The fact that Lemonier does not quit on plays, and has a good motor, combined with his athletic potential will likely cast him as a second or third rounder, despite some serious questions about the translating of his play to the next level.

What if the Dolphins traded Bess and the 12th overall pick for Minnesota's two first round picks? Then they drafted Eifert AND Austin. There is a good chance both players could still be there in the early to mid 20s.

So then we could take Eifert and an offensive lineman, say Fluker or Cooper. Then we could target another speedy slot guy like Swope in the 3rd or 4th round. Or we could target a bigger receiver like Hunter or Williams in the 2nd.

None of those guys would be available at 23. Eifert is a consensus top 20 pick at this point. As are Cooper and Fluker.

You may be right, but that doesn't mean he'll go in the top 20. There hasn't been a tightend take in the first round since 2010. In addition, the highest picked tightneds in the past five years were taken at pick 20 and 21. And those two players were more complete prospects than Eifert. While people are high on his ability to contribute in the passing game, there is still a good chance he could fall to the early part of the 2nd round, similar to his Notre Dame counterpart Kyle Rudolph a couple of years ago.As for the other players, I think there is also a good chance that all of them are still available as well. But what happens on draft day will dictate that, not how they grade out. I've see plenty of mock drafts with these guys still being available late.

Not that I care what Kiper or McShay think, but both ESPN "experts" have him in the top 20. Pro Football Weekly has him as a "top 20" prospect. Rotoworld had him in the top 10 in their last mock, and 13th in their latest mock that came out today.

Then again none of the NFL.com guys have him in the top 20, except for 1.

Based on my opinion of him, I think he's a top 20 pick. I'd be really surprised if he fell into the mid 20s.

You want to wager on whether I have rarely seen him go in the top 20 in mock drafts?

Fine.

I win, because I have in fact rarely seen him go in the top 20 in mock drafts.

Rich is right, on NFL.com all four mock drafts by their panel shows Eifert going either at 30 or 31. The kid is a nice player, don't get me wrong, but he's not a top half of the first round type talent. Tightends typically go end of day one if they go at all.

But you said he was a consensus top 20 pick, so I'm wondering where that consensus is, because I haven't seen it. Most mocks I've seen have him going later than 20 and even at the top of the 2nd round.
